Pacific Princess latest ship in Carnival fleet to be sold off

Princess Cruises has sold its Pacific Princess to an undisclosed buyer, parent company Carnival Corporation announced today.  

Pacific Princess first joined the cruise line’s fleet in 2002, and originally entered service in 1999 as R3 for Renaissance Cruises. The boutique-style ship offered an intimate cruising environment, with a total of just 670 passengers, but incorporated many of the dining and entertainment options available on the cruise line’s larger cruise vessels.

Pacific Princess sailed more than 1.6 Million nautical miles, including 11 World Cruises.

Princess Cruises previously sold it’s Sea Princess and Sun Princess.
